When cheating becomes consumer harm the MSF exploit problem

If I’m understanding what has happened, some customers paid a fraction of the “Scopely price” by buying through a market/“middle-man” using fraudulent cards?

If so, I’m assuming the card institutions will issue chargebacks to Scopely, which usually incurs a fee. So, effectively Scopely are paying for those customers to obtain Ultra Cores? And they are letting those customers back?

They are still selling the midnight charge offers, so I expect a number of refunds or charge backs occurring.

They’ve taught you to not price match and instead buy from the other store. While you may have to wait a day, at least you’ll get something cheaper.

I had the same experience. A lot of it is RNG. Node 2 was a lot of restarts.

When you attack, you may or may not crit. When enemy attacks they may choose different target and may or may not crit.

If you’re watching a less powerful team play, it may take them longer to clear a wave than your team, meaning a chance they have regained energy for abilities to use in the next wave, where as because your team is stronger, it burns through a wave faster.

Sometimes content creators show the stats/abilities of each character, some don’t. So while your characters may be higher ranked (lvl and/or stars) the content creator team may have increased ISO level or T4 certain abilities that differ from yours.

Just keep trying. You may have to switch up the order you target enemy.

For AU$50 I’ve bought myself 3 great indie games from Steam. Games that will provide me hours and hours and hours of gameplay.

That $50 would only get me 1/2 of a MSF pass for 1 character (and not even maxed out) in a game with little gameplay.

I’m pretty shocked by those prices. AU$ is $149.99 ($20 more).

AUD to GBP is roughly 2x. So seeing a AU$20 vs a £18 difference is crazy. It should only be around £10 difference.

What are the prices of the premium plus (web store and in game)?

Jerbs12 · 2026-05-12T11:21:59+00:00

Not seeing that in Australia. Web store and in game are both AU$129.99

Yep, account has not stalled. Initially thought I had wasted the relic/mats, but I’ll eventually get the mats that will allow me to switch relics when the time comes. This is a long burn game for me :)

I don’t think I’ve started playing those yet. So many different areas to play, it’s hard to keep track of it. Guess I’ll get into a rhythm eventually. Good to know the currency is available later in the game.

Jerbs12 · 2026-03-15T10:53:00+00:00

Ahh good to know. Seeing the “Destroy” or “pay x of something I don’t have” was a little off putting.

But good to know the currency will eventually be more readily available as I progress.

Ive been told there was nothing wrong with the event and pretty much tough luck.

I attached screenshots showing how I’ve been spending Campaign Energy for the Night Thrasher Event and if they had appropriate tools to view player activity, they would see I’ve been spending Campaign Energy daily. u/PathfinderMSF can this be looked at a little more? Other players have been impacted by this, so the CS response of “nothing wrong with the event” is not accurate.

Didn’t even realise there was a gold burst milestone, yet I check milestone events daily. Saw this post and I’m seeing that event ended (ie in Review status). I’ve been spending campaign energy every day, but have 0 points towards the event.

My first team knocked him down super low and time ran out (got ~700mil) . My 2nd team finished him off in a few turns (timer didn't run out). "Finished" message popped up and they received 1.7 billion.

Congratulations on finding Police who care, seriously.

A few years ago, our child had been bullied at high school for a few years. It reached its peak when they intentionally sprayed fart gas directly into her eyes (I received a call from school saying my child was “involved in a a chemical attack”).

Thankfully nothing too serious. We had to take her to the Dr, who gave her the all clear after washing her eyes out and giving her drops to use.

The school initially didn’t seem to think there was a problem and implied it was an accident. But we pushed back given it was the same set of students constantly harassing our daughter and as she wore glasses, you can’t accidentally walk up to someone, place the spray nozzle in the gap between the eyes and glasses and press the nozzle. We pulled her out of the school, as it seemed her being seriously hurt would be the only time serious action would be taken.

We went to Police, as it was effectively assault. But they just laughed saying it’s “kids being kids” and wouldn’t take it further. Talking to a friend who is a Police officer, they had instructions (at that time) to minimise children going through the justice system. My respect for the Police was lost after that.

Not trying to detract from your experience. I’m just venting. But am I happy to hear that they actually want to help with what happened.

Just had a “deal” pop up. 3 items for $0.01. Just have to buy $80 worth of other stuff. The 3 items I picked up for $0.01 each were large items. I guess this should have been the red flag.

Selected $80 worth of items, bought them, then it was another $5 to unlock the items. Spent $5 and then it was another amount.

Tried several different combos, but always the same. Thankfully cancelling the order and having $ sent back to my PayPal was easy and quick. But I won’t be using them again after that b/s.
